Definitions
- the present invention relates to an optical recording medium, and in particular to an optical recording medium that allows recording of a visible image on the surface opposite to a recording surface and an image-recording method for recording an image on the optical recording medium.
- Optical recording media where information is recorded only once by laser beam irradiation are known.
- Such optical disks often called recordable CD's (so-called CD-R)
- CD-R recordable CD's
- a recording layer containing an organic dye, a light-reflectance layer of a metal such as gold, and a resin protective layer are formed on a transparent disk-shaped substrate in that order.
- Information is recorded on a CD-R by irradiation of a laser beam in the near-infrared region onto the CD-R (normally, laser beam at a wavelength of around 780 nm).
- Reading of the information is also carried out by irradiating with a laser beam having a wavelength the same as that of the recording laser beam. Information is reproduced by detecting the difference in reflectance between areas where the optical properties of the recording layer have been changed (recorded area) and areas where they are not changed (unrecorded area).
- the DVD-R has a structure wherein two discs, each consisting of a recording layer containing a dye, normally a light-reflectance layer over each recording layer, and also a protective layer as needed, are formed on transparent disk-shaped substrates. On the disk-shaped substrates there are guiding grooves (pregrooves) for tracking an irradiation laser beam, formed of a width of half or less (0.74 to 0.8 ⁇ m) of those of a CD-R. These two disks are laminated together, with an adhesive, on the recording layer side.
- two disks of the above construction can be laminated together with a disc shaped protective layer laminated between them on the recording layer side.
- Recording and reproduction of information on and from the DVD-R are carried out by irradiation of a visible laser beam (normally, a laser beam having a wavelength in the range of 630 to 680 nm), and the recording density of a DVD-R can be made higher than that of a CD-R.
- a visible laser beam normally, a laser beam having a wavelength in the range of 630 to 680 nm
- optical disks whereon a label is adhered onto the surface opposite to the recording surface.
- a label carries printed visible image information such as the song title of the audio data recorded on the recording surface, and other titles for identifying the recorded data, and the like.
- Such optical disks are prepared by printing the titles and the like on a circular label sheet by using, for example, a printer, and then affixing the label on the surface opposite to the recording surface of the optical disk.
- an optical recording medium that allows a display to be formed by altering the contrast between the surface opposite to the recording surface and the background by the use of a laser marker was proposed (see e.g., Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (JP-A) No. 11-66617).
- JP-A Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open

- the present invention provides a method of forming an image on the optical recording medium which comprises recording the visible image on the image-recording layer.
- the optical recording medium is an optical recording medium having: an information-recording layer, which is capable of recording and reproducing information by irradiation of a laser beam; and a visible image-recording layer, where a visible image is recorded on the opposite side of the optical recording medium to the information-recording layer.
- the image-recording layer contains a dye as the primary component and has a light absorption maximum in the wavelength region of 450 to 650 nm and an absorbance of 0.05 or more to at least one laser beam in wavelength regions of 350 to 450 nm, 600 to 700 nm, or 750 to 850 nm.
- the optical recording medium according to the invention may be any kind of medium among read-only, recordable, rewritable, and other media, but is preferably a recordable medium.
- the recording method is not particularly limited and may be phase-transition recording, photomagnetic recording, or dye-assisted recording, but is preferably dye-assisted recording.
- one surface (namely, a recording-and-reproducing surface) of the recording layer of the optical recording medium of the invention is capable of recording and reproducing information by irradiation with a laser beam.
- the image-recording layer of the optical recording medium of the invention is formed on the opposite side of the recording layer from the recording-and-reproducing surface.
- each layer may be composed of a single layer or multiple layers.
- the optical recording medium according to the invention has an image-recording layer, having a dye as the primary component, formed on the opposite side of the optical recording medium to the information-recording layer.
- the phrase “having a dye as the primary component” means that the content of the dye is 80% by weight or more with respect to the total solid content of the image-recording layer.
- Visible images desired by users, such as characters/letters, graphics, and pictures are recorded on the image-recording layer.
- Examples of visible images include: the title of the disc; content information; thumbnails of the content; related pictures; pictures for design of the disc; copyright information; recording date; recording method; and recording format.
- the image-recording layer is only requirement of the image-recording layer is to be able to record visible information such as character, image, and picture thereon.
- two dyes with different absorption wavelengths are used and in the second embodiment of the invention a dye having multiple absorption wavelength peaks is used.
- the first embodiment is described first.
- a dye having an absorption maximum in the light wavelength region of 450 to 650 nm hereinafter, referred to as “dye A”
- a dye having an absorbance of 0.05 or more to a laser beam having a wavelength in at least one of the regions 350 to 450 nm, 600 to 700 nm, or 750 to 850 nm hereinafter, referred to as “dye B”.
- Dye A above has an absorption maximum in the light wavelength region of 450 to 650 nm. Thus, dye A absorbs light in the visible light region, and thus the image-recording layer appears darkened in the presence of dye A. The only requirement is that dye A should have an absorption maximum in the light wavelength region of 450 to 650 nm, and it may or may not have absorption in other wavelength regions.
- dye A examples include cyanine dyes, phthalocyanine dyes, imidazoquinoxaline dyes, pyrylium-thiopyrylium dyes, azulenium dyes, squarylium dyes, metal complex dyes such as those of Ni and Cr, naphthoquinone dyes, anthraquinone dyes, indophenol dyes, indoaniline dyes, triphenylmethane dyes, merocyanine dyes, oxonol dyes, and aminium dyes.
- cyanine dyes, phthalocyanine dyes, metal complex dyes, merocyanine dyes, and oxonol dyes are used particularly favorably.
- Dye B has an absorbance of 0.05 or more to a laser beam having a wavelength in at least one of the regions 350 to 450 nm, 600 to 700 nm, or 750 to 850 nm.
- dye B When an image is recorded by irradiation with a laser beam having a wavelength in the absorption wavelength region of dye B, dye B absorbs the laser beam and generates heat by photothermal conversion, which in turn decomposes dye A together with dye B, decreasing the absorption of the light in the visible region. As a result, the incident light on the region where the image has been recorded reaches to the reflection layer and is reflected by the reflection layer appearing bright. This leads to an increase in the difference between dark areas and bright areas, in contrast, between the unrecorded regions and the recorded regions respectively.
- dye B should have an absorbance of 0.05 or more of a laser beam having a wavelength in at least one of the regions 350 to 450 nm, 600 to 700 nm, or 750 to 850 nm. However it may have absorption of laser beams in two of these regions or to laser beams in all of the three wavelength regions. In any of these cases, dye B decomposes by irradiation with a laser beam in the corresponding wavelength region. If the absorbance of the laser beam is less than 0.05 the dye is not broken down and hence it is not effective in producing a high contrast of the image-recording layer.
- dye B examples include cyanine dyes, phthalocyanine dyes, imidazoquinoxaline dyes, pyrylium-thiopyrylium dyes, azulenium dyes, squarylium dyes, metal complex dyes such as those of Ni and Cr, naphthoquinone dyes, anthraquinone dyes, indophenol dyes, indoaniline dyes, triphenylmethane dyes, merocyanine dyes, oxonol dyes, and aminium dyes.
- cyanine dyes, phthalocyanine dyes, metal complex dyes, merocyanine dyes, oxonol dyes, and ultraviolet absorbents are used particularly favorably.
- Dyes applicable to the desired recording laser wavelength can be prepared, for example, by changing the length of the conjugation system of the dyes. That is, for example, when a laser beam at a wavelength of 750 to 850 nm is used for recording, a dye having a methine chain length of 5 to 7 is preferably as the cyanine or merocyanine dye, while a dye having a methine chain length of 7 to 9 is preferably as the oxonol dye.

- a reflection layer of silver having a film thickness of 120 nm was formed on the image-recording layer by sputtering.
- a protective layer having a thickness of 10 ⁇ m was then formed, by coating an ultraviolet-curing resin (trade name: SD318, manufactured by Dainippon Ink and Chemicals, Inc.) onto the recording layer by spin coating, and irradiating with ultraviolet light, thus curing the UV-curing resin layer.

- a slow-acting cation-polymerization adhesive (trade name: SDK7000, manufactured by Sony Chemicals Corp.) was applied onto the protective layers of the two discs by screen printing.
- the printing plate used in screen printing had a mesh size number of 300.
- the first and second discs were laminated together by their protective layers, and the resulting disk was pressed from both sides for 5 minutes, to give an optical recording medium of Example 1.
- An optical recording medium of Comparative Example 1 was prepared in a similar manner to Example 1, except that coating solution (1) was used for preparation of the image-recording layer in place of coating solution (2).

However under the same conditions the difference in Example 1 was an increase of 12%. This indicates that the contrast between the recorded and unrecorded regions was higher in Example 1. In addition, when an image is recorded by using a laser beam having a wavelength of 780 nm, there was no difference in reflectance before and after recording in Comparative Example 1. However under the same conditions the difference in Example 1 showed an increase of 8%, indicating that the contrast between the recorded and unrecorded regions is favorable in Example 1.
